Paul Armstrong, OhioMember Since February 2007Artist Statement 'm a husband, a father, a slacker, a writer, a dreamer, a worshiper, a seeker, a finder, a keeper, a holder, a wiseacre, a tall and troublesome curmudgeon.

My journey into photography developed more seriously toward the end of 2005, after purchasing my a Canon 20D. At the time I didn't feel the nip and bit of the bug, but I was infected. Now I have 4 lenses (18-55mm, 24-70mm, 70-300mm, 18-200mm) a Canon Speedlight 580EX flash, 4 White Lightning lights, stands, diffuser, light box, and numerous and sundry props.

If I have any personal "style" to my photography, it is in finding humor and drama in people and life. I'm still exploring this life and this new medium. I find that things aren't always as serious as we conjure, and that laughter bonds us more than politics or beliefs. I find it easier to experiment on myself to see what I can accomplish and achieve.
